What happens when you finally achieve everything you worked for only to realize it didn’t give you peace or purpose of life?

Former Navy SEAL Chad Williams opens up about the moment he reached the pinnacle of success and found himself more empty than ever. In this conversation, Chad shares how becoming a Navy SEAL, his version of “gaining the whole world”, left him spiritually broken, searching for meaning, and ultimately led him to a life-changing encounter with faith.

From the loss of his mentor Scott Helvenston, to the brutal realities of combat, to the internal war between revenge and redemption, this episode dives deep into purpose, masculinity, suffering, and what it really means to live for something bigger than yourself.

This is not a motivational talk. This is a hard, honest conversation about identity, faith, legacy, and why achievement alone will never satisfy the soul.

What does it actually mean to “act like a man” in today’s culture—and how has the Church gotten it wrong?

In this powerful conversation on March or Die Show, Jeremy Stalnecker sits down with Joby Martin, founder and lead pastor of Church of eleven22, to unpack biblical masculinity, responsibility, leadership, and the dangerous extremes men are being pushed toward.

Joby shares his raw testimony, from a broken home and a life-changing camp experience to planting one of the fastest-growing churches in America and explains why true manhood is rooted in responsibility, service, and love, not passivity or chest-beating hyper-masculinity.

What happens when a professional athlete, police officer, and MMA fighter is suddenly forced to "crawl" forward? For the last several months, Sean Kennard has been fighting a battle with no name. Losing nearly 50lbs to a mystery illness while doctors offer no answers.

In this raw and honest episode of the March or Die show, Jeremy Stalnecker and Sean Kennard pull back the curtain on the "sacred space" of suffering that most of our culture tries to avoid at all costs.

The hardest truth? A faith that has not been tested is a faith that cannot be trusted. We often believe God is only good when He answers our earthly pleas, but true intimacy is found when everything else is stripped away and all you have left is the ability to cry out to the Lord. If you are currently in a season of uncertainty, learn why clarity is not required for faith and why the lack of it might be exactly what you need to please God.

Are you afraid you'll miss God's plan for your life? Chaplain Ferguson's advice to new Marines struggling with their calling is the answer you need. The conversation turns spiritual as former Marine officer Jeremy Stalnecker and Chaplain Ferguson discuss the power of trusting God's guidance through life's biggest decisions, especially when ministry "was not in the cards". 

Together, they discuss the calling of military chaplaincy, the unseen emotional weight of ministering in war, and the spiritual history of Camp David, one of the most private and powerful places in American history.

Ferguson’s new book, “Presidential Seclusion: The Power of Camp David,” pulls back the curtain on stories that shaped nations and souls alike. This conversation explores faith, leadership, calling, and what it means to serve where the stakes couldn’t be higher.
